Haunting final image released of tourist on Thailand’s ‘Death Island’

Authorities have released a haunting final image of a woman believed to be a Belgian backpacker who was found dead at a Thai holiday destination.

Elise Dallemagne, 30, was reportedly found "half-eaten by lizards" on Koh Tao island on April 28, three days after local police claim she took her own life.

The grainy CCTV still shows the back of a woman who is walking down a concrete path on the island on April 21, approximately 200m from where the victim’s body was found.

Ms Dallemagne’s mother, Michele van Egten, has disputed local authorities’ claims that she died by suicide, believing she was murdered.

With the release of the CCTV image, she told The Sun the woman in the image appears “too big” to be her daughter.

“That’s not Elise’s silhouette – she was much slimmer, that’s not the way she was walking,” Ms van Egten said.

Ms Allemagne’s death, and the events leading up to it, has been wrapped in mystery.
